Aspas: I never dreamed that I would play 534 times for Celta Vigo, I still want to continue playing

In the third round of the Europa League early this morning, Celta Vigo defeated Nice 2-1 at home. Celta captain Aspas scored and set a club appearance record, and he was interviewed after the game.

You have played 534 times for Celta Vigo, becoming the player with the most appearances in team history.

Even in my best dreams I never thought I could do this, and today I don't have the words to express all of my feelings. I also want to thank the club because from the first day I came here I felt like home. I also want to thank coach Claudio Hilardes.

After today's game, Celta Vigo held a drone show at home to congratulate you, and the fans stayed in the stadium to pay tribute to you.

I didn't expect to get such a warm welcome. At 23:00 on Thursday night, the stadium was actually packed. These fans are the source of motivation for me to play 534 games here and participate in the World Cup with the national team.

This season Celta has 7 draws and 2 losses without winning in La Liga. The team is reusing some young players

We must continue to support these young players. It was their performance last season that allowed the team to qualify for the European competition. Although we have been winless in La Liga for 9 rounds, I believe that as long as we continue to play according to our current tactical style, victory will eventually come. Obviously, we need to take risks, but I prefer to take risks with these young players.

What is your evaluation of this game?

We performed very well and were very strong in the last two home games in the Europa League. We were patient and ended up scoring. This game is very important, we have already scored 6 points, and we must get at least 4 points in the next 5 rounds.

After becoming the first player in the history of Celta Vigo, have you ever thought about saying goodbye?

I still have a long-term contract and a lot of games to enjoy. As long as I feel I'm in good shape, I'll keep playing.

What else do you want to say to your family?

I would like to thank my parents for their hard work so that I could come to Celta Vigo to train when I was a child, and my wife Jennifer Rueda for her companionship and support throughout my career.

Have you ever thought about making 600 appearances for Celta Vigo?

If we continue to advance in the Europa League and Copa del Rey, it might be possible. But this is still far away.
